I swapped it with an mp3 file, but the problem still remains. I'm using a Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.4. Please give me an advice. Thanks, Taehee

It might also be because the buffer you are using is too small. You can specify a buffer length as the second argument to loadFile(). Try something like 2048.
